You don't seem to have anything to account for availability of the mob.
You are right. "spawn factor" is a terrible name for it. As for factoring in availability of the mob, that is the major weakness of my spreadsheet. For example, even though the mob "Fairy" has a very low spawn rate, they rank very high for a lower lvl character because they have a decent XP/HP ratio. If I were able to multiply the formula by the "area / number of mobs" ratio that Fiel talked abot, I believe it would increase the ranking's data integrity greatly. If I could get my hands on the data it would be easy to incorporate.
I believe with my current formula, as long as you have some general knowledge about the game you can ignore the anomalies in the ranking. I know this is not a satisfactory answer for the Southperry crowd because of all the loose ends but it’s the best I can contribute.
Also I forgot to mention before that the “Averge dmg of your main atk” portion of the formula takes into account mob def.
